Energy
Solar Electric Power
Recognizable environmental commitment/reduces carbon footprint
Uses local resources, reduces demand for imported fossil fuels (NG, Oil)
Solar panels have a 25-year warranty, 35+ year life
Solar power provides peak power, offsets most expensive electricity
Warranties backed by substantial companies, e.g. BP, Shell, Sharp, Kyocera
Low maintenance (~1% total project cost/yr)
Available in various configurations (rooftop, parking canopy, ground mount)
Solar Power
Rule of thumb: 1MW solar power needs 80,000 square feet of roof space
Technology improvements – thin film, increased panel efficiency, storage
Project costs continue to decline
Solar Economic Incentives
Federal tax incentives (30% now avail as a grant per ARRA)
5 Year MACRS accelerated depreciation available + 50% Bonus Depreciation (ARRA)
California Solar Initiative- SoCal Ed step 5 at 0.15/kwh
Some examples of Municipal utility rebates available- Anaheim: $2.80/watt AC or $.39/kwh
- LA DWP: upfront 20yr payment $.11- $.14/kwh.(Equiv. of $4.50/watt AC)
- Glendale: 4 year PBI $.49/kwh
- Pasadena: 5 year PBI ($.553 - $.632/kwh)
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
As a tax-exempt institution, you can not monetize most incentives…unless you go with a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)

Benefits of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
Allows tax-exempt institutions to monetize tax credits and depreciation
Green power for less cost than “brown power”
Fixed price hedge against significant utility cost increases
All the benefits of solar power without the hassles of ownership No capital required No complicated rebates and tax credits to manage No maintenance and repair responsibilities
Highly visible solar project drives green marketing
Solar power reduces fuel price volatility impact on electric costs

Key Challenges
• Need for additional parking to accommodate growth
• Support corporate-wide sustainability initiatives
• Address need for greater predictability in energy pricing
Solution
• 180 new parking stalls
• Expedited permitting process with solar component
• 1 MW solar project; over 5,000 panels, supplying ~50% of building load
• Weekend generation sold back to electricity grid
• Prevents over 700 tons of CO2 annually
Siemens/ Shaw Waste to Steam Plant
Carpet and wood to energy
– Project has been completely operational for 2 years on July 1
– 10,000 tpy of both carpet edge trim and wood waste are shredded and gasified to produce 50,000 pph of steam
– Carpet plant has the lowest energy cost of all Shaw carpet plants
– Two people per shift operate and provide day to day maintenance
– Plant has 85% uptime
– Plant utilizes almost 80% of waste
